RE: developing tank pinhole camera?

Why not use a normal 2 or 3-35mm roll black plastic developing tank?
You can buy them without the reels and they already have the
light-trap/chemical input built in. The only trick here is you would
need a least one changing bag to insert the "core" tube before adding
the developer since you wouldn't want that in the tank during the
exposure. But it would be really simple from there. Samigon makes one
that is only $12.95 from B&H Photo. Maybe cheaper if you bought them in
quantity. ...just an idea.

Thanks, Chris. Actually I've seen those pages. I guess I'm more
interested in knowing if anyone's tried to integrate a light-trapped
hole in the top to allow chemicals to be poured in and out without a
darkroom.
